Some tosser in their bloody van has scraped the passenger door and rear quarter of my car, scratching both quite deeply while Iv been at work this morning. Just saw it as I went outside for lunch and I was so shocked. I cleaned it yesterday and was goin to give it a polish this afternoon but looks like it needs a bloody re-spray now!
Iv been :angry:, iv had a little :cry: and now im :undecided: wether to just get the whole lot smoothed and re-sprayed so i can get something positive from it all. I cant afford to do that but thats what credit cards are for right!?!
Sorry but I had to share it with people who know how much my car means to me. The prats here have all said its ok, just polish over it, you'l never know! Tossers!

Blinking w@nkers. Sorry to hear that mate. Any CCTV nearby? :smug:
-
nothing! no one saw anything and nothings been left on the car, apart from a side full of bloody scratches!
-
Nightmare :(
-
Gutted for you mate ,
maybe like you say gettin it smothed and sprayed , Colour change prehaps ,
and course it is , they are for emergencies , and this is a big one
-
Iv always wanted a black 3 door mk3 (sad I know) so I wouldnt change the colour. Iv been thinkin of a smoothin and a good re-spray for a while but wasnt ready for it yet. Theres pleanty of other things on the agenda before it but its so much better value than havin it done one bit at a time. Il have a word with a friend of mine who's a sprayer around here who sprayed my grill and is very good.
Just cant believe what some people are capable of. Its not like its a pile of sh!t thats un-cared for. Its clearly well looked after, how could anyone do that!

Some people are just Cocks
well i know BMW do some V nice metallic black
he probably didnt even notice , its not his van so why should he care what happens to it , n it seems that extends to other peoples property too
-
too many people arent respectful enough of other peoples property..
i know exactly how you feel hun and it really is gutting..
its worse knowing that these people are going to get away with it as well..i mean why should you pay really? even thou i know ul have to..
i dunno what to say except chin up and try and park sumwhere that may be abit safer?! :undecided:
gutted for you chuck..really am.. :cry:
Dinx :kiss:
-
Yeah I suppose so, Il see what my mate has to say about it and what he recommends. Just been out there again to have another look coz I still cant believe it! What a shame!
-
Gutted for you matey. :cry: Is it so bad that you can't get some of it out with a good t-cut and polish ?
Some people just don't give a sh1t about other peoples property and it's as simple as that. :angry:
-
some of it will come out but Il still know there are scratches there and theres a slight bend in the metal around the door. I could probably live with it if i had to but id rather not. Spoke to the guy i know and he's goin to look at it at the weekend and see what he thinks. There are so many little niggles comin up with the body work, Its so much more than the cars worth to most normal people to get it done, but im not normal and its not just a car to me. Its almost the decider as to wether i keep it for ages and do all the re-engine, re-trim etc etc or just leave it as is and let it die. After havin wheels and exhaust done this summer Iv already spent so much on gettin it right and its becoming a difficult choice.
-
Aghhh it makes me mad! :angry: :angry:
Sorry to hear this mate as i know how much you love your car :cry:
It's a great shame but chin up buddy :smiley: The sh!t is done n ow so don't get down about it, it isn't worth getting yourself in a state.
I know how you feel though and i would be upset and angry too!
Hope it doesn't cost too much and all goes well with the repair.

Thoughtless barstewards keep an eye out for a white van with black scrapes :)
Have you thought of a dent wizard type mobile outfit? some of them can perform minor miracles! :) flying colours I think have a good reputation might not like the ferry though!
-
Im peed for you mate......... :angry:.......some people just don't give a damm. Just the other day some theiving scum stole my rear vw badge, making the car look takky......but gotta be posotive so ordered some black badges of the bay, which is what i was meaning to do anywayz, so it just forced my hand abit.Try not to let it get to you! :smiley:
-
Well the guy I know just had a good look at my car and unfortunately my estimate was right. He's quoted me 500 quid to straighten out the rear quarter pannel, passenger door and re-paint both. Its goin to be a nightmare deciion wether to get it done or not, its a lot of money to spend and with idiots like that around here Im almost tempted to just give it a good polish and ignore it.
FIVEHUNDREDBLOODYQUID!!!!!!!!

really sorry to hear that about your car, hopefully this will make you feel a little better.
Whilst shopping at my local tesco in Romford at the end of a really sh!tty day for many different reasons I got back to the car and tucked into my chicken and stuffing sarnie (bad choice I know) I spotted a chavtastic blonde women in her early 40's who clearly thought she was still in her early 20's (we all know the type, the turkey cleavage is a dead give away)
Anyway to cut a long story short she loaded up her shopping in the back of her ford focus and even though she was 20ft from the bay she just left her trolly where it was I only realised what was happening 2 seconds too late as the trolly rolled into the side of my car.
I jumped out to find a big old dent in my rear passenger side door! Now after the day I had just been through I wasn't in the best of moods but this put me over the edge. Even though my 89 mk2 isn't going to set the world on fire it's still my workhorse, and how good or bad your car is wasn't the point.
At this stage she had reversed and was on her way to the exit.........the red rage over took me and I nipped through the traffic until I was faced by her in the que for the exit. I slammed on her window and let her know what happened, to my utter amazment she said she didn't know what i was talking about and buzzed up her window. This broke me and I flipped, I gave the impression that I calmed down and asked her another question hoping she would wind the window down, she did and she experienced a face full of very tasty cherry Powerade in the face and when I stepped to the side and she drove off quite fast my key seemed to make contact with the side of her car!
I know I might seem like a mentalist but f##k me that felt good. :evil:
